Chapter 770: Love Parting
Lin'an City has obviously been completely covered by the umbrella now, especially with the reorganization of Bai Chun, with one year old, four o'clock, six qi, twenty-four sections, and seventy-two candidates as the backbone, the whole umbrella seems to be more and more organized, efficient and fast.
So when Ye Qing had just gotten up from the gentle township, and the gentle and virtuous Zhong Qing was carefully helping him tidy up the clothes on his body, he learned that Zhao Ruyu, the right minister, was going to have a banquet in the mansion tonight for Zhao Shicheng, the king of Xin'an County.
Zhong Qing listened to the news, the hand placed in front of Ye Qing's collar couldn't help but pause, and the corner of his eyes still glanced at Ye Qing with a trace of residual spring, and then frowned: "Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Shicheng are both clans, and the relationship between the two is also good, but ...... With his current status, he actually wants to take the initiative to entertain the king of Xin'an County in the mansion? I always felt a little abrupt. ”
"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink." Ye Qing took Zhong Qing's hand and sat down next to him, after doing the ideological work of Zhong Da Beauty's revenge, Ye Qing's expression also seemed a lot more relaxed: "Not long after Zhao Ruyu returned to Lin'an, he introduced me to Zhao Shicheng and the current King Qing in Yongjin Building. Although it was only a one-sided relationship with King Qing that day, it can also be seen that Zhao Ruyu had secretly wooed other clans at that time, even including King Qing. And today's banquet for the king of Xin'an County is actually to celebrate the king. ”
Zhong Qing thought sideways, blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "King Qing will go to Yangzhou with you tomorrow, but he is in the name of banqueting Zhao Shicheng today, but in fact, it is for King Qing to practice?" ”
"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's co-opting and spying on me. Zhao Ru is kind and ruthless, he seems to drag his fat body on weekdays, he is very arrogant, and he doesn't care about anything, but not many people in his heart know what he is thinking. Only when the official position is high and parallel to him can he figure out the ruthlessness under his big swagger from the perspective of interests. Ye Qing continued: "You can also think about it, when Zhao Ru dared to seek revenge on King Xin, was it really because he got Zhao Gou's tacit consent at the beginning? Obviously not, the king of Xin'an and the king of Qing were co-opted by him, or he used it to put pressure on Zhao Gou, forcing Zhao Gou to acquiesce to Zhao Ruyu's revenge plan is the point. ”
"But ......." Zhong Damei frowned, hesitated and asked, "But some time ago, when the envoy came to Lin'an, the relationship between you and King Qing was already clear, and he was not afraid of being self-defeating because of this?" ”
"Before touching the real interests, whoever is with everyone is an ally, and they are not allies, if you want others to value you and show favor to you, first of all, you have to let others use your value to exist, and then you have the real strength to ensure that you are in the swamp of the court, and you will not be in trouble because of anything and cannot extricate yourself."
Looking at Zhong Qing, who was still frowning and worried, Ye Qing sighed and continued: "I was invited by the King of Xin'an County, and I also used him as a bridge to make my acquaintance with King Qing, so Zhao Ruyu followed suit, and it can be regarded as his way of treating others. What's more, Zhao Ruyu also wants to know why the strange situation in the court has been suspended with the new emperor's accession to the throne, with my current status and prestige, why has I not moved to Lu You for a long time. ”
"Lu You?" Zhong Qing frowned again in surprise, the hairpin head phoenix was indignant because he was kicked out of Renlu You's house, and then he stood at the door of people's houses, like a shrew scolding the street.
Originally, it was a poignant poem that was extremely sad, but as long as she thought that it was Ye Qing shrew scolding the street blocking the door of people's homes, spitting sideways, she always felt as if something was wrong, and she always felt a little uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly, like a fish in her throat.
Therefore, every time Zhong Qing sounded the words red crisp hands and yellow vine wine, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and felt extremely speechless and helpless.
Even Bai Chun and others were full of speechlessness and disgust for Ye Qing's poem, so compared to the current popularity among literati, few people at home are willing to mention Ye Qing's hairpin head phoenix.
After all, in the imagination of the literati, Ye Qing must be in the most luxurious room of Yongjin Building, surrounded by delicious wine and food, beautiful women like clouds, between Qin Se and Ming, low mourning and shallow singing, holding a wine glass and looking at the most expensive beauty in Yongjin Building.
It's hard to imagine that if a few literati under the weeping willows last night learned that Ye Qing's hairpin head phoenix was scolding the street in front of people's homes, would there be more words to scold him for misconduct?
Ye Qing stretched out his hand and dangled it several times in front of the somewhat distracted Zhong Da Beauty, before Zhong Da Mei came back to her senses, and said with palpitations and a little disgust: "When I think of your hairpin head phoenix is actually obtained by scolding the street, I can't say how uncomfortable it is, just like a grain of mouse feces spoiling a pot of porridge." ”
"You mean I'm the rat?" Ye Daguan asked in a deep voice.
Zhong Qing burst out laughing, thinking about the analogy he had just made, and instantly laughed and said, "You said it yourself, I didn't say that." ”
Zhong Qing, who was laughing and almost shed tears, finally stopped laughing at his own officials, and then said, "Then will you move people to Lu You?" Although it is said that he once sent a message to King Qing for Wang Huai....... ”
"It's time to move." Seeing Mo Xiaobao knock on the door and come in, and after saying that the car was ready, Ye Qing got up and continued to say to Zhong Qing who followed him: "As for why you don't move him, it's because I don't think it's necessary, and I lose my identity as a privy envoy." People are always easy to be misled by others, not to mention that it is not a good thing not to travel by land. ”
Following Ye Qing out, Zhong Qing hugged Ye Qing's arm with his arms, and followed him downstairs, after all, after today's separation, I don't know how much time I need to wait to meet again, although the parting pain in my heart is not revealed, but the reluctance is still obvious.
Of course, she also knew very well that Ye Qing liked this feeling, just like the two of them had been holding hands and walking into this courtyard since they came out of the lonely mountain last night.
"Will he be the key to the infighting between Zhao Ruyu and Han Yan?" Zhong Qing raised his head and asked, "Or do you have other arrangements?" ”
"Go with the flow, some things don't have to be deliberate, let it develop naturally, maybe you will be able to achieve the goal you want faster." Ye Qing's words carried a hint of warning and doting, and gently pinched Zhong Qing's face that was about to hang on his arm and said.
As the two walked out of the attic, Zhong Qing naturally quickly let go of Ye Qing's arm, in front of outsiders, even in front of Mo Xiaobao waiting in front of the carriage, she didn't have the courage to continue to be with Ye Qing.
Watching Ye Qing get into the carriage, the reluctance in Zhong Qing's eyes began to be covered by a cloud of mist, and her tone became extremely fragile, and she said with a hint of parting crying: "I know, I won't mess around, I will take care of it." ”
Ye Qing, who lifted the curtain, looked at Zhong Qing's cheeks that were about to cry, smiled and beckoned Zhong Qing to the front of the car, and said after Zhong Qing approached: "Don't worry, I will come back in a short time." ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhong Qing to react, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhong Qing's neck, and kissed it on the seductive red lips before letting go.
Zhong Qing didn't resist for the first time, but lowered her head instantly, not letting Ye Qing see her sadness and sadness, and said in a voice like a mosquito and fly: "I will be obedient, wait for you to come back." ”
Seeing that after Zhong Qing finished speaking, he turned his head like the back of a man running in the pavilion, Ye Qing shook his head with a dumb smile, and then motioned for Mo Xiaobao to rush back to Lin'an City.
The only people who can be called Mrs. by Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm and others are Bai Chun, Zhong Qing, and Yan Chengcheng, and the rest of them obviously don't have this treatment.
Mo Xiaobao drove the carriage out of the West Lake in the direction of Lin'an City, and said to Ye Qing that his wife had taken Miss Honglou and took the boat back to Yangzhou earlier this morning, leaving only the two maids and Liang Xing to take care of the house.
The carriage slowly drove into the royal street in Lin'an City, stopped when passing by the third aunt's tavern, and then continued to walk forward, and now Bai Chun and the Red Mansion have returned to Yangzhou, so there is only Ye Qing left in Tonghuifang's home.
So the carriage did not turn into the road of Tonghuifang, and began to spin around like a headless fly in the busy Lin'an City, until it returned to the door of the third aunt's tavern again.
But only Mo Xiaobao, who was driving the car, got out of the car, and as for Ye Qing, who was originally sitting in the car, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Wu Lie stood alone at the door of the third aunt's tavern but was puzzled, since the carriage entered Lin'an, he had been sending people to follow closely, but he still didn't find out when Ye Qing got off the carriage, and even, if he hadn't seen Ye Qing get into the carriage in the Yan family's courtyard, he would have wondered if Ye Qing was included on the way from West Lake to Lin'an City.
Mo Xiaobao sat by the window in the tavern, in the hole in the window that he had just pierced, looking at Wu Lie, who was frowning across the street, and was about to laugh proudly, when the slap of the third trial fell on the back of his head.
"You loser, the window paper that your Uncle Liu just changed a few days ago, and if you weren't careful, you asked you to poke a hole in me." The third aunt looked at Mo Xiaobao who looked up, and scolded with a smile.
"Oh, Uncle Liu is so distressed to change it for you, I don't know how many times I've changed it for you, and you haven't cared so much about it." Mo Xiaobao touched the back of his head and said with a smile.
"Let you change the window paper, that's because you stinky boy pierced it." The third aunt continued to laugh and scold, and then motioned to the man to bring the wine, and said in a low voice: "Here, this is what your old Uncle Liu asked me to give you, saying that you will definitely come in the next few days, every day is mysterious and secretive, and you can't see anyone ...... all day long." ”
"What? Miss Uncle Liu? Mo Xiaobao put it in his sleeve pocket without looking at it, and teased the third aunt who was already gray-haired.
"Be careful, the third aunt tells Ye Qing and let him clean you up." The third aunt left with a smile, ignoring Mo Xiaobao and continuing to lie down in the hole and look out.
At this time, there were also several people around Wu Lie, all of whom shook their heads in confusion, obviously not clear, why there was no Ye Qing on this carriage?
Wu Lie stroked his chin with one hand, while hesitantly looking at the carriage across the street, wanting to go over and see if there was Ye Qing on the carriage for himself, but he was afraid that if he was really in the carriage, what should he do?
Now it's not the past, Ye Qing is far from being able to provoke at will, not to mention that even in the past, even Lord Han was afraid of three points.
Ye Qing on the other side, this time he went to the apricot orchard without even leaving the main entrance, and jumped directly from the backyard over the wall, but as soon as he landed, he was immediately surrounded by the soldiers of the guard division.
Facing the cold glittering bow and crossbow, and the murderous cheeks, Ye Qing slapped the dust on his body as if no one was around, and then threw the waist card in his arms to the soldiers at the head.
So when Li Fengniang, who borrowed wine to drown her sorrows, saw Ye Qing, she was taken aback, Ye Qing's body still had traces of climbing over the wall, although it was much less than just now, but in Li Fengniang's eyes, Ye Qing was still a little embarrassed at this moment.
"You...... Got beaten? Li Fengniang held the wine glass to her lips and said with some surprise: "Can anyone else dare to beat you in Lin'an City?" ”
"You just want to watch me get beaten? Rest assured, in time, your wish will come true. Da Yan sat down in front of Li Fengniang, took Li Fengniang's wine glass and drank it all, and then explained: "I have to mean that when I go to Liao, there will be a lot of people who beat me, so you can rest assured that someone will be angry for you." ”
"Just don't be killed by the Khorezmians, no matter what, you have to get me back alive." Li Fengniang said angrily.
Both of them wanted to deliberately create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, as if there had never been any unpleasant atmosphere before, but even if the two worked together and tried to resolve and avoid it in this flirtatious way, but in the end, the two of them still couldn't help but fall silent at the same time.
Zhu Ye'er obediently put the wine jug and left, and the two silent people were left in the room again, and the atmosphere began to become more and more weird and solemn.
After several glasses of wine in succession, the two of them were still for a while, and they couldn't find the topic to speak again, so they looked at the wine glasses and began to be in a daze.
Li Fengniang has the dignity of the queen after all, not to mention that her heart has always been extremely arrogant, and she will not take the initiative to bow to anyone and admit her mistakes since she was a child.
And Ye Qing made it clear that she wanted Li Fengniang to know the stakes, and knew that if she continued to be willful in court affairs, then whether it was her Li Fengniang or him Ye Qing, in the end, she would be played to death by Zhao Ruyu, Han Yanxuan and others one day.
Li Fengniang put down the wine glass with a thousand hearts, slowly got up and walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the open half window, and after a few sharp ups and downs in her chest, she sighed again, opened her mouth several times and finally said, "I plan to wait for you to leave Lin'an...... Handful...... The apricot orchard was renovated, the window paper was replaced with Poli, and the garden behind it was also planted with a few plants...... How about your favorite mulberry tree, and the ginkgo tree? ”
This is undoubtedly a way for Li Fengniang to take the initiative to change direction and admit her mistakes, after all, she is the queen of the Great Song Dynasty, how could she really lower her voice and bow her head directly to Ye Qing and say that she was wrong.
"Very good." Ye Qing took the wine glass and drank it all.
Hearing that Ye Qing took the initiative to admit his mistake for the first time in his rare life, it turned out to be these two words, Li Fengniang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows again, and her towering chest rose and fell rapidly, but in the end, she still held back the anger in her heart, but her tone had become impatient and said: "There is no money in this palace, you have this money, if you don't have any money, let your family ...... Mrs. out. ”
"I remembered what you said, so let's let the Ministry of Engineering come out. First, the Ministry of Industry is your younger brother, and second, you ....... Ye Qing turned his head, looked at Li Fengniang, who was already full of black lines in his head, and continued: "I just promised the Emperor Taishang to help him repair the Lonely Mountain Garden, so let's just go together." ”
"Ye Qing!" Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing and gritted her teeth, and said with hatred word by word: "You know, we can't let anyone know about our affairs!" ”
"As long as the incident in Yujin Garden happens again, I dare to guarantee that even if you and I don't say it, the people of the world will know it clearly, and it will even be even more filthy." Ye Qing said to Li Fengniang's biting gaze.
"You...... You're threatening me! Li Feng took two steps forward and said.
"It's a warning, not a threat. If you are willful, you and I will not have good fruit to eat! Now that you are the queen, in this short period of time, you must be able to see more clearly, where are there still stupid people in this court? Anyone with a bad brain, how can he mix up with such a high position above the court! Which of these officials is not a master who is more refined than a monkey when he is stained with hair? If they don't say it, it doesn't mean that they don't suspect it, they just don't have evidence in their hands, it's just that my affair with Zhong Qing has covered up most of the truth! Ye Qing also stood up suddenly, looked at Li Fengniang with a firm gaze and said.
"Can't you see it now? They are just waiting, waiting for us to start infighting, or they are creating seemingly unrelated incidents to force us to show our feet, and then let them seize the handle and the evidence, so that we will fall into the abyss in one fell swoop, and there will be no day to turn over! There is no need to think twice about which step above the court, even if you take every step, it is like walking on thin ice, because no one knows whether this step will be a broad road or an abyss! Do you think I'm willing to appear in front of you so embarrassed, do you think I'm willing to leave the door and choose to climb over the wall......? ”
Looking at Ye Qing's embarrassed appearance that was still covered in dust and dirt, Li Fengniang wanted to laugh at first, but looking at Ye Qing's expression that made her feel a little scared, she actually forced the smile back into her stomach, and continued to listen to Ye Qing seriously and seriously as she poured bitter water, venting the dissatisfaction hidden in her heart these days, and reprimanding her as if she was reprimanding her own wife.
"Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you and me in Lin'an City today? Now that you are a queen, don't you know that what you are sitting under your ass is not a stable, motherly and graceful queen's throne, but like sitting on a volcano crater all day long, frightened and tormented? Zhao Ruyu, Han Yanxuan, even Shi Miyuan, which one is not waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, and then immediately give the opponent a fatal thunderous blow! And what about you....... Ye Qing stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pinch Li Fengniang's delicate chin, and continued: "It's even stupid to take the initiative to make low-level mistakes!" If I hadn't ventured into Yujin Garden alone that day, but brought people into Yujin Garden, or led people to wait for me outside the palace, did you know that once I was designed by you to die in Yujin Garden, and when you walked out of Yujin Garden, your queen's throne would change hands immediately! ”
"Yes...... There is this...... Is it serious? Li Fengniang, who was pinched on her cheeks, had a little difficulty speaking, but even so, she enjoyed the feeling of being reprimanded by Ye Qing like this at the moment, especially looking at Ye Qing's deep eyes full of worry and anger, she felt infinitely satisfied psychologically, even more than when she first became the queen, it made her feel a sense of accomplishment.
"More serious than you think, more terrible than I said!" Ye Qing continued to pinch Li Fengniang's chin, looked down at Li Fengniang's slightly annoying eyes, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "Didn't you hate me Ye Qing for humiliating you on the day you got married?" I warn you, if you Li Fengniang dare to be willful again, I will ...... you. ”
"Put ...... How do I ...... How? Li Fengniang's amorous eyes asked defiantly.
"Strip you naked and hang up and humiliate!" Ye Qing licked her lips and said.
"Will you?" Li Fengniang's eyes were like water, and the lust mixed with the spring style was burning.
"I would have many ways to humiliate a queen, do you believe it?"
The queen shook her head with her eyebrows and eyes, and then felt that the whole person was pulled into Ye Qing's arms, but she still chose not to resist, but wanted to see how this minister would humiliate her, the queen of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Alas...... Omit ...... One word. ”
